Eastside Library Gutter and Soffit Replacement

The Board of County Commissioners of Hernando County, Florida is requesting sealed bids for fascia, soffit, gutter, and downspout replacement at the East Hernando Branch Library (Solicitation 26-C01347/AP), with bids due June 29, 2026 and a mandatory pre-bid conference on June 3, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. at the library site; failure to attend and sign in disqualifies bidders. A 5% local-vendor preference applies to bids within $10,000 of the lowest bid when the vendor has maintained a physical business location in Hernando County for at least twelve months.

Bidders must hold either a Florida-licensed Certified Roofing Contractor or Certified Building/General Contractor license at the time of bid submission. The contractor must demonstrate previous experience with at least two similar projects completed within the past seven years and provide a project superintendent's resume showing a minimum of three years directing comparable projects. The scope includes furnishing all labor, materials, equipment, tools, supervision, and incidentals to complete replacement work per approved construction plans and specifications. The library is located at 6457 Windmere Road, Brooksville, Florida 34602.

The County estimates the project budget to fall within Threshold A (less than $100,000), though this estimate is not a basis for bid submission. Bids must be accompanied by a bid bond, certified check, or cashier's check equal to at least 5% of the total bid amount. Upon award, the successful bidder must furnish a performance and payment bond equal to 100% of the total bid price and maintain comprehensive general liability insurance with limits of at least $1 million per occurrence and $2 million general aggregate, plus workers' compensation and automobile liability coverage as specified. The contractor must obtain all required permits, including NPDES-NOI permit, building permit, and electrical permit, prior to Notice to Proceed. Questions are due June 8, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Sealed bids must be submitted electronically via the County's eProcurement Portal by 10:00 a.m. on June 29, 2026, with public opening at the same date and time.
